1.1. The Meaning of “Large Scale” In general, the term “large scale” can have one of the
following five meanings in computational chemistry:(1) large size: power-law and …

A key challenge in the field of nanotechnology, in particular in the design of molecular
machines, novel materials or molecular electronics, is the bottom-up construction of …

ABSTRACT A quasi-static uncoupled theory of thermoelasticity based on the heat
conduction equation with a time-fractional derivative of order α is proposed. Because the …

Gold nanorods have garnered a great deal of scientific interest because of their unique
optical properties, and they have the potential to greatly impact many areas of science and …

Artificial molecular motors are designed to transform external energy into useful work in the
form of unidirectional motion. They have been studied mainly in solution,–, but also on solid …

The adsorption of large organic molecules on surfaces has recently been the subject of
intensive investigation, both because of the molecules' intrinsic physical and chemical …

Nanostructured surfaces can be broadly defined as substrates in which the typical features
have dimensions in the range 1–100 nm (although the upper limit of 100 nm may be relaxed …

Direct studies of how organic molecules diffuse on metal oxide surfaces can provide insights
into catalysis and molecular assembly processes. We studied individual catechol molecules …
